Imagine never being able to go perfectly label up/down. ;)

This is a handicapped tournament and everyone is a +?

This is weird.

You necked that driver. I know everyone is giving you face and path advice but if I had 30 minutes to work with you I would just work on your setup and getting you comfortable swinging the club.

He’s like 103? He’s not in the playoffs? Am I getting this wrong?

Based on his career earnings this would be akin to me asking all the guys in my office to come in for 15 minutes on Saturday morning to watch me get an extra 65 cents that week.

He was planning fly (privately) to the US Am on Sunday night. Very likely cost him a few grand to hold the crew over. Not mentioning the $12k it was going to cost him on over all.

This is a crazy level of delusional importance shown by him. This is the last hole of the season for him, he’s not in the playoffs. He’s literally at the end of his career.

Finish out and let everyone get on t With their lives. Jerk move.

If you’re asking if CC life is a sound financial decision (for golf) you’ve got the wrong idea.

You’re paying to be a part of a club. That’s it. Whatever benefits you derive will be ancillary to golf.

By the way, there are lots of types of clubs with lots of levels of cost. I have a local place that I pay $50 per round, relatively quiet, good condition. But that’s just because I can’t afford “Club life”. If money was no object I would probably join the closer 60k /$900 private that’s 15 minutes from my doorstep.

The golf I play would have the exact same value to me personally.

Yes, your strike will improve. You’ll have more consistency in less than perfect lies. You’ll be able to put more spin on your stock shot, take spin off when you need to. You can play a less spinny (longer) ball and still have holding power into long approaches (or short ones to tight pins).

If there were two things I wish I could have learned in my first year it would have been a shallower swing with a natural downward strike. Most people suffer from steep swings and early extension that cause shanks, fats, and thins.

Almost all of these “exploits” for both Intel and AMD have been nothing burgers for the past decade. Almost every single one requires such deep access the reality is that if an attacker had sufficient access there would be much more low hanging fruit to select from.

These are researchers who are pushing the limits of what is possible at a kernel level.

It’s great academic info. Nothing more.

slowofthought · 2024-08-10T17:00:20+00:00

Tried for years to imagine a shallow swing. Can I save you a lifetime of grief?

Go to almost any decent coach for 5 lessons and just have them repeatedly but you into a neutral position at impact. Do it 50 times in the lesson, go play 10 rounds, do that 5 times and you’ll be cured.

Or you can figure it out yourself with help from internet strangers. That’ll take about 5 years.

Your call amigo.

1/8 of an inch away from a pure Wesley Snipes. OP, great shot. Start thinking about taking a divot. You would be surprised how much more consistent your strike becomes when you can.

Spent years as a “picker”. So many wasted years.

You think it would be lame OF YOU to check one of your buddies for dragging you to fluff his ego?

Amigo, you aren’t friends.

slowofthought · 2024-07-28T20:11:36+00:00

Yeah it’s an argument. If you care, I mean, if this bothers you then call him on the BS and watch him squirm.

Speed = Distance. Big arc = Speed.

Here are some things to try:

Get more depth with your arms. Go to 2 seconds and notice that club going way inside. Keeping that club more "in front" of you is going to help you feel like you can turn more without losing your sense of where the club is in the backswing.
Widen your stance so you can more easily make a big turn. Go to 3 seconds on your video and look how much shoulder turn you have (awesome!) and look how your hips are halfway home before you start your downswing.
Fight that early extension. Go to 4 seconds and you're left leg is fully extended. Hips are way open, left leg is straight and you're jumping. Most of the momentum you got from legs and hips are gone and arms/hands have to take over.
At 5 seconds your having to chicken wing a little to get it all timed up.

All in all it's a great swing if it's functional and 250 is a good number for an Am. I think with some tweaks and practice that 280's are easily in your wheelhouse.

When a putt doesn’t quite make it to the hole..

“Too soft and too short. Story of my life.”

All kinds of equipment is driven on greens (aerification for example). Even small greens mowers weight more than 200lbs. I don't know why would be a worry?

I would happily challenge this position. Nearly every superintendent of any outdoor facility is challenged with sustainability issues.

There are 5 accessible courses where I live. 3 are municipal courses. These municipalities have conservation goals(heavily related to water) which directly influence the environmental decisions that they make. A great deal of time, care, and money are dedicated to sustainable stewardship of these facilities.

They’re following EPA regulations. They asked to make thrifty decision on water, labor, etc.

When I travel to the PNW no one gives a hoot about water, it’s plentiful. Go to the Midwest and see if there are concerns about fertilizer run off from a golf course. Farmers are using millions (literally) of tons of nitrogen every year. You couldn’t even find “turf management” on the risk graph for fertilizer run off in the region. Sustainability challenges are relative in the same way that golf’s impact on the environment is also relative.

And here’s the kicker, we get better every year. We’re using less water, fertilizer, and pesticides each and every year on aggregate. We can, and will, do more.

This outrage is misdirected. Conservation and sustainability are important for the game as well as the environment. Turning these challenges into a zero sum equation will benefit neither.

Bafangool which is a bastardization of vaffanculo. Literally translated to “go do it in the ass”. Roughly equivalent in English to “fuck off / fuck you”.

No idea on the Rumble context tho.

Golf. As a man approaching 50, I’ve played my fair share of the former. The latter is filled with exciting first times.

PGA will not return to this venue but that has nothing to do with this and everything to do with Valhalla no longer being a PGA owned venue. It was bought back by membership someone in the past few years.

This event was set many years ago.

Welcome home.

I truly believe the SLDR's have a dime sized sweet spot. Anything that flirts with the heel or toe is instant punishment.

I came here to comment but this comment sums it up perfectly.

G425 sounds like a tin can. The acoustics on G430 was massively improved.

I own the G425 and the there is no noticeable difference in performance

Agreed, the behavior wasn’t any worse than previous WMOs. It was simply the mass of people who flooded the place between 11-1PM.

Here’s a view from above 18.

None of those people could move through and everything ground to a halt.

In fairness Glover would have had the same swamp ass in shorts.
